I am looking for basic info and advice on using reamers. I have a few
questions:

Since you've already gotten some very good advice about reamers, here's
a bit more. In the Bedsider Reader Guy mentions the drills that should
be reserved for each size reamer.

reamer size drill size
1/4 letter "D" = 0.2460
5/16 7.80mm = 0.3071
3/8 9.40mm = 0.3701
7/16 11.0mm = 0.4331
1/2 12.5mm = 0.4921

Hope this is helpful.
